Save to your city mapTo see a different side of Istanbul, take a cruise along the Bosphorus, the sea strait which cuts through the city. There are a vast variety of companies to choose from, mostly respectable, but some are a little more suspicious. The Sehir Hatlari company offers three types of cruises with the possibility of hopping on and off at several quays. This is the same company who run the ferries which cross the strait to link the European and Asian parts of the city together. Check their website for more information, timetables, and tariffs.
